From November 9, 2019 until spring 2021, Costa Smeralda will be in Savona every Saturday. In preparation for the arrival of Costa Smeralda, major work has recently begun in the Savona cruise port, for a total investment of approximately 24 million euros. The Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority is due to dredge the sea bed in front of the Palacrociere main cruise terminal quay to increase the draught from the current -9 m asl to -11 m asl, after consolidation of the structure. The total cost of the work is estimated to be 19.35 million euros.

Genoa’s waterfront was the focus of a highly successful ambitious redevelopment scheme on the part of the Genoese Renzo Piano, one of the most influential architects in the world. Europe’s leading state-of-the- art Aquarium, situated along the waterfront, is Genoa’s top attraction. Its display tanks stretch out into the harbour: dolphins, sharks, piranhas, penguins, seals are amongst the over 500 species which can be viewed close up, underwater or from walkways above the tanks. Nearby is the Galata Maritime Museum, celebrating Genoa’s prodigious seafaring past. There are also superb views of Genoa from Renzo Piano’s Il Bigo structure. Children can learn about science and technology and have fun at the Città dei Bambini e Ragazzi featuring over 90 interactive and multimedia exhibits. For more info: www.portoantico.it www.acquariodigenova.it Step Back in Time Genoa’s past, as one of the Mediterranean’s leading maritime powers and as cradle of the modern banking system, is reflected in the wealth of sumptuous marble landmarks which characterize the vast pedestrianised old town. The caruggi and piazzas are a living treasure trove of the past. Highlights include Palazzo Ducale which hosts acclaimed international photographic and art retrospectives, concerts and cultural events; the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo with its distinctive black slate and white marble facade; Palazzo del Principe with artwork by Old Masters. Much of the former Republic of Genoa’s mercantile wealth had been invested in churches decoration. For instance the Church of Gesù, with outstanding works of art by Rubens, or the Church and Cloister of San Matteo. UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE A staggering 42 of the more than 100 Palazzi enlisted as “dei Rolli”, and located in Genoa’s historic centre have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. For more info: www.visitgenoa.it Gastronomic Genoa Genoa has a population that cares deeply about food: restaurants, trattorias, cafés and food stalls abound throughout the city and offer a vast selection of culinary delights. Genoa is naturally the birthplace of the celebrated pesto, with fresh basil grown locally. Focaccia is a staple here and delicious col formaggio (with cheese). Farinata, a tasty chickpea pancake, is another local speciality. Fish, freshly caught, is turned into gastronomic masterpieces like fritto misto – deep-fried mixed seafood – and stoccafisso accomodato – stockfish with potatoes and taggiasche olives. Whilst anchovies are considered daily fare. The artichokes from nearby Albenga are practically worshipped and used to make torta pasqualina. Pine nuts, olives, herbs are all ubiquitous and the continuing dedication to the traditional ways is evident on nearly every street in the small family-run shops and eateries.

    SLOWAYS SRL - EMAIL: [email protected] - TELEPHONE +39 055 2340736 - WWW.SLOWAYS.EU CYCLING type : Self-Guided level : duration : 8 days period: Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct code: ITSB190 Cycling on the Coastal Road, from Nice to Genoa - Italy 8 days, price from € 1120 The right trip for those who dream of living all year round at the seaside: you will travel in the sunshine of the Riviera Ligure, through coastal villages where at every turn you will be able to answer the call of the sea: the clear water and Mediterranean climate will let you enjoy a bathe well into autumn. The sea breeze and the smell of the sea will accompany your bicycle along the flat coasts and cycle paths made along the tracks of old railway lines, with some differences in altitude to avoid the busier roads. From the charm of the Cote d’Azur you will arrive at the narrow alleyways of villages beside the sea, following ancient Roman roads perched above the sea and paths surrounded by olive groves, until you reach the charming old districts of Genoa. Without forgetting the joys of the palate: you will enjoy fish just fished from the sea and accompanied by km zero oil, fragrant Ligurian focaccias and pasta with pesto alla genovese, and you will understand why Mediterranean cuisine is one of the most famous in the world. The tips of Valentina: Enjoy a ratatouille niçoise sitting at a table in Place Rossetti, in the heart of the old town of Nice; You will get lost in the “carrugi” (alleyways) of Parasio, the old district of Porto Maurizio, allowing yourselves to be surprised by the sudden views over the sea through the red houses; Enjoy a bathe in the clear waters of the Costa dei Saraceni, at Finale Ligure; Walk along the quay in the old port of Genoa, admiring the town from the benches of Calata Gadda.

  • The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham
    The Palm Landscapes of the Italian Riviera Pietro Piana, Charles Watkins and Ross Balzaretti University of Nottingham Abstract Palm trees are today a characteristic feature of tropical tourist landscapes around the world from Caribbean to the Maldives. They are also a distinctive element of Mediterranean landscapes. On the Italian Riviera they are frequently found in the grounds of villas and hotels, at railway stations and in public squares. This paper examines the changing landscapes of the palm trees of the Italian Riviera over the last 300 years. Palms, particularly Phoenix dactylifera, were an important element of the local economy cultivated especially for palm fronds to be sold for religious festivals. The widespread presence of palm trees gave stretches of the Ligurian coast an almost tropical character, especially around Bordighera and San Remo. These coastal towns became major health resorts in the late nineteenth century and international tourists and residents celebrated this exotic landscape. The palms became important subjects for amateur and professional artists and photographers and they proliferated in gardens, as street trees and in horticultural collections. They became signature trees for these wealthy therapeutic landscapes but rapid building development and the decline of the palm trade means that only fragments of the old palm plantations remain today and these are in need of careful conservation. Keywords: Palm trees, Liguria, landscape, British travellers, Topographical Art Introduction Trees and vegetation have always had a major role in the characterization and visual perception of the landscape. Their distribution, density, shape and size reveals much about cultural and physical associations between people and the landscape (Watkins 2014).

  • The British Royal Family in Bordighera
    The British Royal Family in Bordighera The Earls of Strathmore, the future Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and the Duchess of Leeds By Gisella Merello, translated by Marcus Bicknell Claude Bowes-Lyon, a Scot and the 13 th Earl of Strathmore i, great grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II, lived from 1824 to 1904 (he died in Bordighera). Photo: Claude Bowes-Lyon, 13 th Count Strathmore In 1896 he bought an elegant villa with a large park on the Via Romana in Bordighera on the Italian Riviera. The house he bought from Raphael Bischoffsheim, a wealthy banker, was very special; it had been designed and built by Charles Garner, one of the most famous architects of the time. Having completed his most famous buildings, such as the Paris Opera, he settled in Bordighera. Here he built for himself the outstanding Villa Garnier, as well as the Villa Bischoffsheim, completed in 1878. Photo: The first Queen of Italy, Margherita di Savoia Bischoffsheim and his new villa were honoured within a year by a royal visit. The first Queen of Italy, the young Regina Margherita di Savoia, stayed there a month with her little son as the guest of Bischoffsheim to restore her confidence after the assassination attempt on her husband Umberto I. Photo: Lady Mildred Bowes-Lyon Jessup After acquiring the villa, the Earl of Strathmore immediately changed the name to Villa Etelinda. This was the name of an opera, a lyrical tragedy in three acts, by their daughter Mildred Marion Jessup (Lady Mildred Bowes-Lyon Jessup, 1868- 1897). The opera was surprisingly successful, especially as she was one of only very few female composers in the world.
